appnencn ined iii'aicii s, was. Serin no. massa To all i/.Ilzom 'it 'muy concern v Be it known that. l, Santini, il'. Quixtar, a citizen ot the United States, residing at :sioux City, in the county ot Woodbury and State of iowa, have invented a new and uset'ul Improvement in .'.l`abulati'nMechanism, ol which the following is a specification. p My invention relates particularly to the equiiinient ot type-wi'itingr machines so that they shall h e adapted tor tahulating or similar purposes, although the invention ing a type-writer carriage from its escapement and permitting it to more. under the action ot its spring a 'predetermined distance, dependingon the key struckJ and then automatically connecting` the carriage again, with its escapeinent. ln machines o'l the. type employing a movable rack meshing with a pinion connected with the esca peinent, the release is eii'ectedby moving the rack out of, gear, and the rengagement of the pinion is automatically effected at a point which de `peiids upon the particular key of the new ii'iechanism which has heen struck.

./ilie accompanyingdrawings illustrate my improvement applied to an old machine et the) Remington type, but ,it will he understood that the invention, iny a suitable emhodtinient', may be applied to aiiytype-writinglinachine, either as a` separate attachment'y before or after the manufacture ot the. inal chine, or as an integral part of the machine at the time of manufacture.

The link lt is provided simply with a forwardly-extending.

- A of downturned ends ql, y, g, if, rf', of sur# cessively decreasinglength. thereby affording a series oi.l st p' as in( icated 1n Fig. G and by dotted lines in Fig. i). The downturned arms are carried by forwardlyextending7 projections r-with which the upper ends or the links are provided, the projec` tions 7' being normally in engagement with the pin or shaft T1. The member S U- shaped as shown in Fig. Q and has its legs ys provided with slots s" which receive the. bars of the lt series. The 4bars are held iu place by pins a2. lh'e bars are normally held in position by springs si", ach of which lias one end supported by the upper leg s ofV the guide'S and the opposite end connected with its bar. The member T4 is normally held at one end of its guide by a spring' t- (Figs. 9 and 10). The lever ll is connected with a sprintf L attached to the main frame of the machine.

From the detailed description of the im proved mechanism given, the operationfivill bc readily understood. The carriage of the machine is operated in the usual manner through the medium ot' the universal bar 3V connected in the usual way with 'the dogrocker I and actuated whenever a. type-key or the word-spacing bar is operated.- 4 0 trippets or ingers V2 of the improved mechyanism which are also column stops, are preparatorily adjustedl on the bar V, as de sired, their arrangement depending upon.

the spaces between columns. The keys of the improved mechanism are conveniently located in the rear ol and above the usual keyboard, and when it is desired to movethe 'carriage from' one column to another it only necessary to strike one `of these keys.

, The distance 1which the carriage will move will be determined by the key which is struck. VE upposing the key K -to be struck, for instance, its rock-shaft' L Will be turned p and the lever Q actuated, thereby depressing` 515 and connecting1 bar li and drawing down the adjacent arm ot the lever T. This elevates the free end otthe iever-arm il", 'thereby raising theraclr Dl out of engagement with bei' 'lltis'turned on the axis land this raises the shoulder or step il with which the arml 65 g2is equipped, into .alinement with the right The' end of the projection n2 of the latch U. This likewise brings a liang'e or disk-sector o with which the upper end of the arm g is provided into the path of the fingers or stops V2 of the trip-bar or stop-bar. lllhen the c; rriag'e moves a suliicieut distance, therefore, one of the trippete` will engage the fiance fo and move the. latch trippingl member l`11 lougitudinallav of' the shait (/l. whereupon the shoulder /1 will engage the projection HP and trip t1.. latch, so lthat the adjacent end ot' the. level' 'll will tall. This allows the rack Dl to fall and i'eingage the pinion C ot'the escapemcut mechanism. lt will of courre be observed that the shoulder u4| of the latch l is drawn beneath the eX- tremity oli the arm T of the lever T when said'lerer is actuated by depressing' the li. llvlhen the latch. lT is tripped as rcribed its left edge is forced'against keeper U1 as indicated in Fig. 4, and the carriage is then arrested by the action of the tinger or stop V2 on -the linger v of the latchtrippingv member VTA1 and by the action ot' tlu` shoulder /z of this member on the latch.

Assumingthe key/,K1 to be struck, the efiect is to depress. the horizontally-disposed pin T12 a short distance, thereby rocking the mem-ber T and the 4member T4 upon the shaft gl. Further depression of the bar R causes the downturned end Q1 of said bar to bear upon the adjacent arm of the lever 'l and actuate the lever. This movement brings the :tiret notch 71.11 into engagementrwith the tooth of the stop T10. Actuat-ion of the lever T, aises the rack froml engagement with its pinion and permits the latch U to operate, as before described, and vto co-act witlrthe segment T and stop or detent T10 in lockiupr the tripping member T* in its Working position. Now,however, the shoulder or step /i instead. of the shoulder L of the longitudinally-movable latch tripping member is brought into alinement with thc extremity of the projection n2 so; that when the nent.

finger orl stop V2 on tliel'stop-bar engages said tripping-member, the member will be moved a. letter space distance farther than before and the' latch will be tripped, the carriage will be arrested, and the rack will fall and rengage with the escapement pinion. Assuming the key K2 to bestruc'lt, the first the bar

action isto depress the pin or shaft T12 a v sutlicient distance to bring' the second notch la into alinement with the tooth ot' the stop T-1" and to 'bring the shoulder or step It?. of the latch-tripping member into a position a projection n2 of the latch. Then the shorter downturned end Q2 ofthe bar Rgengages theupper surface of the adjacent arm of the lever T and further depression of the bar vactuates the said lever, permitting the latch l to'act, .elevating 'therack ont of engagement little.belovvfyand a little more than two let ter spacedist'an'ces from the right end of the with its pinion, and bringingV the shoulder side ot the trip-bar ot the carriage when h2 to the saine height as the extremity ot' the projection 112. When a` trip-finger or stop V'` actuatea the latehtripping member again, theifeiore, said member is moved a `eil-eater ditstance thanl before, prior to the tripping of the latch. the arrest ot the carriage.- and the rene'agement. of the rack iyith the pinion ot the eseapement mechanism. v .\s the successiye keys are operated to and includ iup,I the key K5. the successively decreasing lengths ot' the downt-urned ends ot the leverdepressing' bars permit th shaft or pin T12 to be. depressed eorresi'iondiugly greater distances. betore the lei'ei 'l1 is actuated., and(` by this means provision is made toi' properly setting' the latch trippinguienilicr and its guide so to-eause the latch to lie tripped and the carriage arrested and restored to the. control ot the eseapement attcr sneccssiyely increasing` traverses ol' the carriairc.

The faces ot the .steps or .shoulders i, z

ltI will be`iinderstood that the embodiment oi" the inyentionmay be variously modified, according' to the requirements of the particular machine to which it is: applied; also it will be understood that the arrangement ot the parts ot' -the mechanism is likely to di'tler ii'hen designed for application to a `machine at the time of the manufacture of the machine, instead ot as a distinct attachment to an old machine. Moreover, When designed as a distinct attachment to an old machine. the form, number and arrangement ot the parts are capable ot wide yariation. The carriage-releasing lever, or 1neniher. may aet upon any desired portion of the escapement-mechanism to treethe carriage. in a'niaehine having a sliittable ratchet-bar. tor instance, this member may be moved by the. carriage-releasing member: and in some machines it may be desirable to have the Carriage-releasing' .member act .directly upon the. paivl' ot the escapement-nieehanism.

- A\ny suitable latch. or pa'ivl. may be employed in the trip-mechanism for holding the carriage free. or keeping it. diaeonnected, and the disconnection may oeeur at any portion o'l the cseapenient mechanism, the primary object beine; to renderyit unnecessary to hold a key while the carriage is passing to the proper positionio receive a numbei` or word.
